Software will not be able to make hardware do more than it physically can. If you have the volume up as far as it can go on Windows, your media player and possibly your speaker (if it has its own physical volume control) then there is nothing more you can do save invest in a better speaker.

Check to see if RealPlayer is at the highest volume if you have it installed. There are times when I put WinMediaPlayer up to the max volume, and consequently have to open RP to pump up that volume too...

I hate to be a bastard aidan but that's just pointing out an irrelevant point. I am watching the match on rte website and the sound is very low. if you understand anything about wav files or mp3's then you will know that they can be made louder ( a simple example of this is in the increase volume option in windows sound recorder). So what i am basically looking for is software that can quickly record the sound as it plays, edit the sound to make it louder and then quickly play the sound- which is in fact very possible!

Btw, I know that the computer can output louder sounds than i am listening to because other files such as music files sound louder.

good point myth but i dont have real player.
thanx anyway for the replies lads

I hate to be a bastard but in future why not take the time to spell out the problem in its entirety, rather than a brief "help me now". Important stuff such as the fact that you are seeming to be having a problem with only this stream, and you know for a fact that the hardware can do better. Anything less and where the hell are we supposed to know where to start?

In summary, start here.
